A little bit, but I am not sure whether it is really comparable. It's a relatively new trend here in germany (started 2002). Translating a recent article: "According to this, in 2007 only 16.2 percent of children attended an all-

I wonder whether averages here "average out" the missing spending. I am not surprised that the average spending in San Francisco per kid is higher than most places, especially because of the prevalence of private schools. And, of

If you pin every responsibility to the parents you are just leaving unlucky kids behind. Having someone to blame is not helping kids succeed without much support from the parents. Of course someone will always succeed despite the odds, but

What's the fix? More support from the state of course. It really is a task for the society compared to the individual, otherwise you will never ever ever have a fair system. Success in schools should not be so dependent on the parents.

are there no all-day schools in the US? My girlfriend went to one because of her mother being on her own and having to work and it was pretty involved compared to my "normal" school. They handled school, sports and homework. Your

nearly every other developed country managed to fund their schools system adequately, to provide a uniform system of education without heavy reliance on private schools. While you can't really guarantee equal opportunities for every ki

I wholeheartedly agree. Exceptions to the rule always exist and I don't want it to be impossible, but they should be entirely optional and non-standard. You are going to re-learn it anyway (and learn it better, from first principles in

> it’s a business after all is it? I thought those sports organisations are not businesses but associations of the clubs. Is it different in the US?

great question! Coal is unfortunately very well connected on every level of the government. For example, the unions are one of the oldest and have very good political connections, especially to the left of the political spectrum and down to

this doesn't seem like a lot tbh. What is it afterwards? Is it expected that the woman abandons her job and only cares for the child? There are a lot of costs involved

while weird at first, I am reminded on the agencies focused on matching people with jobs. It's a bit similar I think! Reminds me a bit of the movie "the lobster"

this is truly absurd. I bet there are quite a few small businesses/self employed people getting popups all the time. I really can't believe how you can damage your product this much, it's like if they have no respect for wind

Another point is that germany is decentralised whereas france is centralised. France can formulate a policy and stick to it, but in germany usually every level of government is involved. And nobody wants to have a nuclear power plants near

My girlfriend recently had a popup from microsoft urging her to use bing instead of google for a few days in return for a few bucks (I think it was amazon credit). I was simply astonished, windows really didn't seem like a tool anymore

ah I never knew that the protocols behind the zeroconf services (Bonjour etc.) can also resolve hostnames. Very interesting. Although I have to say that in my experience these things are not robust enough yet. Setting up the printer at work

I have recently come to the conclusion that a major problem is that there is no "local" internet. You either have websites somewhere out of local network or some app-based solution, but there's no "dishwasher.local"

It really is unbelievable considering what the train was hauling. It wasn't just a long coal train: > It had five locomotives at the front and 136 cars trailing behind, about half hauling hazardous material: propane, isobutane, ethy

How is rail safety handled in the US? Is every company responsible for itself with little oversight or are there more detailed rules? I wonder how this: > It happened in September 2005 when a 1.5-mile-long BNSF train tried to fit into a

there must be some way to manage this since I can't recall this to happen in the subways I've used (mostly munich, germany). Or I imagine what you describe a bit more dramatic than you've meant it to be

I bet the other places he looked at was London, Paris, Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Of course in a cool part of the city. The reality is just that many would like to live in munich but it's just very expensive because of this. Many can&#x

I was also pleasantly surprised by Ionic. I found it easy to use, quick to set up and performing well. Perfect I think for small to medium sized web-apps!

talking about vscode without its plugins or langue servers does not make sense. They provide 99% of the functionality. The plugins can create new views, from pdf-viewers to interactive coding environments with 3d plots ala plotly. Done in e

that's great for 1980's editors, feel free to use them. But vscode is a different beast, a plug-and-play solution ranging from simple editor to a full blown IDE. It also stays snappy for me, as mentioned.

by LeanderK 4y ago
hm but is it comparable? I've used sublime in the past but only as a bare-bones editor. I see vscode more in line with IDEs (it's kinda both), as there ist a lot of functionality and coding support available. Pycharm, Intellij etc

I am using a mid-2014 Macbook pro. It's not a recent laptop and vscode is still snappy for me.

yeah, some sort of caching. Small models for most tasks with a way bigger models just one get-request away. It's a smart idea that hasn't been tried yet. But I bet that you could shrink the models significantly. It doesn't re
